Coast to Coast

Marina Florance

Songs commissioned by The Warm and Toasty Club for the Coast to Coast Project.

These 3 songs were written after Jules & Marina attended our Memory Afternoons on the coast of Essex. These group sessions have been a great place for our wonderful retired participants to share positive & poignant stories of their younger days, charting some of their journeys in life, often through World Wars &/or times of great social change in Great Britain - it has been a pleasure to hear people centred stories of how people used to live & what they got up to in the 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond for the Coast to Coast project.
They all are special Essex based people and we would like to thank them for the shared memories, laughter and friendship.

Marina & Jules said - we cannot thank Johnno Casson enough for being asked to be part of this superb project. We’ve enjoyed every memory afternoon (sometimes too much), every performance & every moment spent with The Warm and Toasty Team.
Most importantly we loved being given the opportunity to share in the
memories of so many inspirational people.
The tea & biscuits were good too.
